Properly defining the problem and determining the goals of the project are the first steps in finding the path to a solution. We determine the scope of connectivity problems, interview stakeholders regarding needs and concerns, and put together a clear analysis and recommend a path to success.

It happens. There are situations that require the most rapid deployment possible to add cellular coverage. Over the years our team has been called upon to apply our resources to address those situations. We react quickly and begin to address the issue immediately with a clear understanding of the various solutions available.

We bring years of experience in negotiating contracts covering design, technical requirements, and business terms. Furthermore, every cellular project that is deployed requires carrier approval. This approval and the support that a carrier provides require documentation and contract negotiations.

We provide technical support during the RFP process by leading pre-bid walks with potential respondents and drafting responses to pre-bid technical questions. We participate in the analysis of the submitted RFPs, bidder interviews, selection meetings, and provide final recommendations to the client.

When needed, we provide our clients with carrier level DAS designs. This service allows our client to select the technology and control the quality while minimizing the cost of the system. Our design services, including review of existing designs, can mean a significant time and cost saving for our clients.

We are available to oversee compliance during construction and to monitor schedules and equipment. Keeping an installation on track and protecting our client from unnecessary change orders is an important part of our service.

We provide carrier grade RF testing for indoor and outdoor locations using the PCTEL
IBFLUX equipment. Data collected and processed through PCTEL’s equipment is universally accepted by the carriers and a necessary first step in finding current cellular and public safety coverage. It is also required data to be used in designing a solution.

CBRS frequencies allow venue owners to use wireless technology to address a number of challenges. DAS Advisers has completed a proof-of-concept project using CBRS technology, which coordinated cellular service with the wireless service providers (carriers), while providing wireless wifi backhaul and connectivity to the venue’s handset applications. We see CRBS technology as the wireless backbone of the future.

With a clear view of the desired solution, we prepare a Request For Proposal (RFP) that includes technical specifications, performance minimums, coverage standards, the design or design standards, adaptability for new technologies, interference management, and regulatory compliance.

We know the carriers well, and we understand what motivates them. How projects are presented and the conversations regarding a project’s network value determine the carriers’ level of interest in being involved in the project and the role they might play. This coordination is critical to the success of every project.

Wireless public safety is mandated in some jurisdictions and is always a valuable and sometimes critical service for a facility or community. We can assist in its deployment.
